Losantiville Mining Co. Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Today's big announcement being an announcement for an announcement timeline seems pretty on-par for Six Flags, especially considering the fact that one of the announcements was originally announced back in November. Six Flags Over Texas is going to have their 2026 giga dive announcement in September. Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is getting something major in 2026. Fiesta Texas is removing two slides, possibly for new ones in 2026. Could we see more of the 2026 additions announced in September, or will the company decide to go wild and announce things with no rhyme or reason? I'd assume they learned their lessons about needing to announce ride removals after the 2024 Ride Purge. Let's hope we don't have to wait too much longer to find out what will and will not be in the parks for 2026. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siebert has been teasing a big project for 2027. At Winterfest he said B&M was involved. I wouldn't be surprised to see a hyper coaster in this location going around the water park and out by the parking lot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Six Flags Over Texas will reveal their 2026 addition on September 25th. I think the giga dive will have a bull theme, since the teaser the park released had a Running of the Bulls vibe. They're also been completing a lot of improvements around SFOT including a renovation of their Palace Theater. I've been watching some of the progress that SFOT Source has been showing and the transformation has been super stunning to say the least. The two slides that will be removed at Fiesta Texas do look like they'd be a good spot for a hyper coaster. They also announced the removal of Bubba's Cafe / Bubba's Burgers which is on the other side of Dr. Diabolical Cliffhanger, so I wonder what could be going there. Maybe another VIP Lounge or a new restaurant altogether. Schlitterbahn New Braunfels new attraction teaser was interesting since it only showed underwater bubbles and said something was coming. I wonder if everything else will be announced in September? Or maybe it will be a more staggered rollout of announcements. Hopefully we'll also see some good and fun announcement signage to build up hype throughout the Fall and Holiday seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:37 AM Circling back to this now that we're almost in October As of September 29, 2025 here is what the capital investments currently planned for the 2026 operating season look like: Carowinds will introduce a record-breaking water ride WORK STALLED Canada’s Wonderland will add a new record-breaking water attraction UNOFFICIALLY CANCELLED Kings Island will introduce a new family thrill attraction ANNOUNCED; "Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare" Knott’s Soak City will receive a water park refresh and aesthetic enhancements UNKNOWN Six Flags Magic Mountain will debut a first-of-its-kind coaster in North America WORK STALLED Six Flags Great America will celebrate its 50th anniversary, debuting a new kids’ area, commemorative events and park enhancements UNKNOWN Six Flags Great Adventure will unveil a record-breaking launch coaster WORK CONTINUING; PROJECT DELAYED Six Flags Over Texas will unleash a record-breaking dive coaster ANNOUNCED; "Tormenta: Rampaging Run Six Flags Mexico will introduce a family thrill boomerang coaster ANNOUNCED; "Speedway Stunt Coaster" Valleyfair TEASED; "Superior Shores Waterpark" So, currently we have 4/40 parks confirmed to be receiving capital investments for 2026... Carowinds and Magic Mountain's additions seem to be canceled, Canada's Wonderland could go either way, and nothing has been released for Knott's Soak City or SF Great America. Great Adventure's new coaster is still steaming ahead, so I'm curious as to if their "beyond 2026" statement was meant to mean something other than it opening in 2027. SFOT said they'd like to finish their work by early 2026. I wouldn't be shocked to see Knott's open Montezooma's Revenge as a New for 2026 attraction either. The Six Flags/Peanuts license agreement was renewed so we likely won't see a massive changing of the guard for that in 2026. Am I missing anything? It doesn't look like Cedar Point will get anything ride-wise for 2026 so far. There could be a bunch of relocations from Six Flags America (Valleyfair is probably getting slides from them), so it'll be interesting to find out about those. We might see the new websites and mobile apps in November as well as the new CEO being named around then. The future of Six Flags is definitely looks interesting right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM Traditionally neither legacy Six Flags nor Cedar Fair relocated water slides. The refurbishment and expense to carefully take down and move water slides has typically outweighed any savings. Water slides are pretty cheap, and it’s typically better to just buy new. My expectation is Ragin Cagun, maybe great chase, some flat rides, and parts and trains to be all gets relocated from SFA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
